... of analytical expressions. The diffraction/radiation problem is solved using a higher-order boundary element method. Focus is given on the effect of the flexural rigidity and of the internal to external radius ratio on the physical quantities describing the behavior of the plate. Resonance effects...

.... Finally some useful suggestions regarding the modeling aspects are presented. These suggestions can also be considered for lateral buckling design of PIP pipeline. section flexural rigidity pipeline segment fe model geometric imperfection inner pipe outer pipe mise stress pipe pipeline...

... motion of a subcarangiform fish. The characteristics of the flexible body and techniques to control posture of the robot are discussed. The flexural rigidity of the body was examined by an experiment about the elastostatic bending of the body. The output moment of the motion mechanism was estimated using...
